[Verse 1: Jean Grae]

See every life brings a moment of intense hatred

Body inseminated with foul thoughts and drained patience

Most likely waited out, [?]

Chasing the cloud before you start thinking of

Lacing a crowd of people with a round of bullets flying free

Visioning bodies dying in threes

Temperature dropping from 98.6 degrees

And their souls leaving their bodily shell

Well, probably do well to flee the scene

Before the cops arrive and shoot you up until you rotting in Hell

I'm saying, I know that most of y'all relating

Even hatred flashbacks, are subsequently losing it

Niggas without guns are those who used to using it

With index fingers locked in trigger-pulling positions

No matter which category you fit in, listen

It's a dark day, cluttered thoughts like crowds on

Eastern parkways

Try to calm your heart with spears [?]

Your girl cheated on you with your cousin

Or she tells you that she's eating for two, and then you find out that she really wasn't

Your man hit on your mom, your dad dislocated your arm

For fighting with him when he knew he was wrong

Your boss fired you, the week before the rent is due

Your wife lied to you

Your husband caught him with a guy or two, you're trying to

Just not invoke the spirit of Satan into your hands

Do something you might regret, cause something has gotta let

This demon is creeping up to the surface of your brain

Working overtime to plan escapes from running from your murder route

It's nervous, I've heard it before, cause I've been there

Balanced on a thin line ready to topple at any time or anywhere

Anytime, anywhere

Anytime, anywhere


[Chorus]

Cause love...

So difficult to live it up, just give it up

Let's switch it up to hate, let's bitch and fuss

You see cause love is based on trust

And I've been hurt too much to take that leap of faith

I'll wrap and keep it safe and save face

So say your grace cause we just don't give a fuck


[Verse 2: Jean Grae]

I can hear voices screaming of angels and devils schemin'

To crawl up my shoulders and just duke it out

Throw it up, puke it out

The pit of my stomach is bleeding

The shit that I'm thinking is turning me green

And I'm losing it quick, confusin' random people

Walking with niggas that I wanna get back

The slack of my stride is heart boppin'

My feet knocking on pavement like I'm cracking it in fours

My mental math is way off course

Columbus style, my dental work is fake out smiles

Hatin' myself for fading into the pit of the blackness

No anger management course can even switch a track of

Thinking I'm sinking in deeper, meetin' the reaper, chillin'

Sippin' shots of tequila, while he's kickin' it to women, where's the ether


[Verse 3: Block McCloud]

Breathe the sulfur, the brimstone

Fear and suffering alone

I [?] and comfort me like Jim Jones

Recruiting clones and cliques and clans

The pick of the litter, the follow the leader, then sinking in quicksand

With no particular plan, I'm just slick with a sinister scam

Politicking, promising to deliver the land

Till they kissing the ring on the hand of the king

The gospel, spreading like a venomous thing

Till my name in the tenements ring, generous with nothing

Greedy with the riches, for all the times I got

Beat in this business, cheating on bitches

Feeding the sickness, like a cancer eating at your skin

Leaving you titless, witless, only Jehovah would witness

Satan is grinning cause he's winning, loving the hatred

In this age where nothing is sacred

We covet thy neighbor's wives, under the covers

They mothers lie naked with they daughter's baby's fathers

In the wake of modern day harvest

Cities burn like Sodom and Gomorrah

The concurrent nightmares might occur again

Anytime, anywhere

Anytime, anywhere

Anytime, anywhere


[Chorus]

Cause love...

So difficult to live it up, just give it up

Let's switch it up to hate, let's bitch and fuss

You see cause love is based on trust

And I've been hurt too much to take that leap of faith

I'll wrap and keep it safe and save face

So say your grace cause we just don't give a fuck


[Verse 4: Pumpkinhead]

We interchange with gases that you breathing and dying

The heat of the night, the streets are bright

With heat seekers in flight

Them patriot missiles that whistle and streak through the skies

People fight for their right to kiss their freedom goodbye

I don't love her, but I keep it inside and

Never speak of the times I cheated

I just beat her and leave her believing the lies

I'm trying to stop the leak in my eye

I cry for the weak who have pride

But won't see a piece of the pie

Who forfeit them to the system and let it eat them alive

Listen my mission is to sufficiently try

Not to lose a piece of my mind

And change to a deranged piece of a guy

And take aim at the ones that chain us by the feet

And leave us die

And told us the evilest lie

To the people that fed them drugs in needles to get high

Conspiracy theory is clear to me

But when I speak, my people don't hear me, I'm getting followed by M.I.B

Constantly fearing retaliation for my revelation

I find myself panicking in a train station

My nation is racist, I hate this

I'm anxious to take this nickle plated shit

And blast my way out of a matrix

This world of fakeness is faceless, face it

Every life has its moment of intense hatred


[Chorus]

Cause love...

So difficult to live it up, just give it up

Let's switch it up to hate, let's bitch and fuss

You see cause love is based on trust

And I've been hurt too much to take that leap of faith

I'll wrap and keep it safe and save face

So say your grace cause we just don't give a fuck
